Chapter 39: Causing a Sensation, Obtaining Recruitment Quotas
Most of the viewers watching Han Tian’s video were still cursing Jing Baotian for being crazy, but a small portion had started to doubt.
There was no other reason; if it were a filmed video, there would always be editing.
But Han Tian’s video was filmed in one continuous shot, with smooth footage and no editing whatsoever.
Even the fluctuations in the video perfectly matched the filming angle.
The most crucial part was the appearance of a Spirit Stealing Rat.
That Spirit Stealing Rat was lifelike, completely lacking the CG feel of modern special effects. It looked a bit like a squirrel, but it wasn’t one of the current squirrel species.
Han Tian also said, “That’s a First Order Demonic Beast, a Spirit Stealing Rat. We’ve been planting a lot of Spirit Herbs recently, and the Spirit Stealing Rats sneak over to take a look.”
Han Tian wanted to zoom in to film the Spirit Stealing Rat, but unfortunately, the Spirit Stealing Rat ran too fast.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Han Tian’s voice also held a hint of regret, “We’re only at the Early Qi Condensation Stage now. The Spirit Stealing Rat is too fast, and we can’t catch it yet. Otherwise, we’d all want to raise a few.”
It took Han Tian half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain. This half-hour journey had no filler; it was not edited at all.
If Han Tian hadn’t provided occasional explanations, no one would have been able to endure watching such a boring video.
But the scenery in the video was genuinely beautiful, without any filler.
It was completely natural, without any filming filters, just the most realistic appearance.
Every plant and animal that appeared in the footage was shown from a different angle. As they got closer to the foot of the mountain, the sizable town of Wang’an County came into view.
Until everyone saw Wang’an County.
After entering from the county town gate, a bustling street unfolded before their eyes.
Han Tian’s voice also deliberately lowered slightly, “This is a Mortal Town, Wang’an County. I’ve put all the information about Wang’an County on the website, so you can check it out yourselves. I won’t introduce it further. There are many Cultivators here, so I need to be careful with my words.”
Cultivators?
There are really people who cultivate?
Many Cultivators usually come to Wang’an County. The people walking on the street here wear clothes of various colors.
If this were filmed, such a scene would undoubtedly be a grand production.
But many people had already searched. Driven by the 1 million reward, they racked their brains to find the place Han Tian mentioned, even using satellite maps.
It looked like it was part of Huaxia. It was so large; it must be a film studio, right?
But which film studio would fit the criteria?
An hour is not long, nor is it short.
It was completely insufficient to showcase what Han Tian wanted to present.
Moreover, fighting was not allowed in Wang’an County. The only surprise during the filming was encountering a Senior Sister from the Flying Sparrow Sect who flew over on a giant pink tassel fan.
To be able to make such a large Flying Magic Treasure, this Senior Sister must be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Han Tian dared not provoke such a person now, so he just watched silently without speaking during this segment.
After the Senior Sister landed, she waved her hand, and the giant fan-shaped mount disappeared.
The entire scene was smooth and natural, with no visible traces of special effects.
It gave a sense of reality that had never been felt before.
The Senior Sister was also exceptionally delicate and beautiful, possessing an indescribable charm. She wore an ancient-style dress but walked with a commanding presence, and there was an undeniable heroic spirit in her brows.
Even female celebrities would not be inferior to her.
Many bullet comments appeared.
【The plot twists at the end】
【She’s definitely a professional actress; she’s so beautiful, you can tell she’s meant for the spotlight】
【She sat on the fan quite steadily; I didn’t see any signs of wires…】
If it were really special effects, how much would that cost?
At the very end of the video, Han Tian deliberately dropped a bombshell.
He went to a place that specialized in acquiring Demonic Beast Materials to film the corpse of a First Order Demonic Beast, a Toad Snake.
He manually provided a high-energy clip and warned those with low tolerance not to watch.
There was no censorship at all. If you looked closely, the blood was intense, and some people immediately felt like vomiting.
“This is a Toad Snake, a species that absolutely does not exist in reality. If you still think this game is fake after watching this video, then I have nothing more to say.”
“I’ll say it again: find this place, find the people who appeared in my video just now. If you can find them in reality, I’ll give you 1 million.”
“Up to now, it’s still hard for me to believe it’s a game. But I can’t determine where it comes from.”
The video ended.
Many viewers were bewildered.
Is this really a game world?
But is it possible? Can current technology achieve this?
A portion of them still firmly believed that Han Tian was hyping things up and filming a video to deceive everyone.
【Now even games are starting to use gimmicks. Fake is fake. Tell me, which country in the world has this kind of technology now?】
【It’s definitely a publicity stunt, what a trash game!】
【Damn, the closed beta only had 50 slots? And they’re not releasing more now, what a broken game?】
【No way, are people actually searching for this game?】
In the game group, many Players were shocked.
【I Was Born to Be Emperor: Is it real or fake? Damn, that video was too realistic. What’s the difference from our reality?】
【Philanthropist: @Han Tian, no joke, you’ll give 1 million if we find it?】
【Han Tian: Forget 1 million. If you can find this place in reality and match it, I’ll give you all my assets.】
【Philanthropist: Heh, honestly, I just don’t believe it. Blue Star simply can’t have this kind of technology. I used to think you were a Big Shot. Did this game merchant spend a lot of money to hire you for this hype?】
【Han Tian: …Fine, ask Zhou Xiao and the others, alright? I’m not arguing with you anymore. I have to go up and help other Players watch the Spiritual Fields, lest they get eaten by Spirit Stealing Rats.】
Now, the Players are divided into roles. Some help them build Houses, while others are responsible for watching the Spiritual Fields.
It had to be said, this video was indeed explosive.
Because the title was so explosive, coupled with Han Tian’s 1 million promise, and the fact that he was a Big Shot in the game industry, many people were genuinely moved.
The reason they were moved was that they believed this place was definitely fake, and if they could find it, they would get 1 million. What’s not to like?
Some even treated this as an unprecedented marketing event. Soon, Han Tian’s video directly surged to the top of the trending searches.

#Who is Song Jiulai?#
At the very least, the sensation caused by Han Tian’s video far exceeded the 5,000 yuan he spent.
And in the game, Song Jiulai suddenly received a message.
【Detected unexpected energy fluctuation value. After evaluation, this energy can be converted into game energy.】
【You have obtained access to the world’s Blue Star Internet.】
【You can recruit 20 more Sect disciples.】
At that moment, Song Jiulai’s mind exploded.
The System was also shocked, “Holy crap, there’s such a good thing?”
Song Jiulai was immediately excited.
“Great, I can finally catch up on the TV shows I’ve been watching!!”
“…”
